General Assistance (WorkFirst NJ) in Parsippany, NJ, is dedicated to providing essential support to individuals facing financial hardship through our comprehensive Emergency Assistance program. We offer crucial services including food assistance, clothing, shelter, and household furnishings to those in need. Our resources also extend to temporary rental assistance, mortgage payments, and utility relief to help stabilize living conditions. We understand the urgency of securing transportation for housing searches and can assist with moving costs. While our emergency financial assistance is typically available for up to 12 months, extensions can be granted in cases of specific hardships. For individuals who have recently lost their jobs after at least 20 weeks of employment, we guide them to potential state unemployment benefits and additional welfare options once those benefits run out, ensuring that our community has the resources to regain their footing during challenging times.
